GPL crooked braking and off center steering?

First, the braking problem which I'm guessing is either a setup problem, a car related problem or the track's fault because the results are different with different cars at different tracks. What happens is when I come into a corner and try to apply full brakes, without locking them up, the car suddenly veers wildly to the left. It's most apparent with the Murumasa(I know, don't laugh). Can anyone tell me if this is normal? I've changed the setups to be identical on both sides. I've noticed it happen at Watkins Glen before the second to last right hander. It puts me right into the railing. And with all cars, going down a straight away, the cars tracks slightly to the left or right, depending on the car. Is this solely a calibration problem, or could it be a setup problem as well?? If so, what should I change to fix it? Thanks for any help. Jason

Try both joystick modes. On my computer the generic input is better than the direct. Calibrate every time you start the game. If after starting the game you are drifting to one side it is a wheel/ calibration problem. If it pulls to one side after a crash this is due to damange even if you have "no damage" selected. Check your ride hight/ bump stops. I had a terrible time with the Ferrari default settings. Turns out I had lowered the car too much and was hitting one of the bump stops and it would jerk the car sideways. If raising the car helps, consider running it higher or increase spring rates. buzard

You should try to balance your car more. But also you could try to: 1. correct your car with applying/releasing throttle 2. brake very (i mean veeeerrrryyy) soft If NOTHING helps it's simply a joystick problem :-) Bart
